Prime Minister Keir Starmer remains unperturbed by recent polls indicating a drop in his popularity. He emphasizes his commitment to fulfilling the promises made to voters during the July election.
Keir Starmer has said he is 'not worried' by his decline in popularity since becoming PM. Speaking on LBC's Nick Ferrari at Breakfast, Sir Keir said his main priority was delivering 'for those people who voted for us in July to change the country for the better'. It comes after a fresh poll found that he was more unpopular after five months in No10 than any other PM since the late 1970s.
The research by Ipsos found that 61 per cent of voters were dissatisfied with Sir Keir's performance while 27 per cent were satisfied, making his net satisfaction score -34.'What gets me out of bed every day is how we deliver for those people who voted us in to change the country for the better,' Sir Keir said.Listen to Nick's full interview with the Prime Minister today from 7am on Global Player 'How can we make them better off?
